• Photography is in the middle of  a transformation that will likely be as great as the one painting went through in the nineteenth century, when many of its traditional functions were supplanted by photographs.

  --sophisticated mobile phone cameras allow users to create excellent pictures, without user post-processing, at the press of a finger

  --many billion photos are uploaded daily to the internet, making it difficult for any given image to be noticed, and

  --AI already allows users to create photorealistic images by typing a description.

I see this series of photos  as transformative in several ways:

  --as an exploration of a possible direction for creating non-realistic photographic art,

  --the background texture in each image is a digital transformation that uncovers otherwise invisible colors and patterns in weathered metal walls

  --the images blended into the texture substrate are collages of photographs of spaces referenced in the titles.
